Meghan Markle and her husband-to-be Prince Harry celebrated International Women’s Day in Birmingham city centre today.

For proud feminist Meghan this day was particularly important.

The couple's first stop was at a STEM event that aims to encourage young women to enter careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

The event organised by Stemettes at Millennium Point brought together female students from local secondary schools for panel discussion, speed networking and information on work experience, apprenticeships, A-level choices, and university degrees.

The 36-year-old stepped out in a J Crew navy and cream trimmed coat, with fitted black cigarette trousers.

Taking a leaf out of Kate Middleton's book she wore suede courts and a vintage inspired black bag.

After this event the couple are due to travel to the Nechells Wellbeing Centre where they will meet Birmingham’s Coach Core apprentices, an organisation that encourages young people with limited opportunities to become sports coaches and mentors within their communities.
